Hi all,
Good news indeed!
Perhaps we should appreciate that the negotiations needed to be a bit
longer in order to produce such a short statement.
"I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
This has often been attributed to Mark Twain, but not on Wikisource. There
it is attributed to Blaise Pascal.
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal
My little internet search revealed no proper references to Twain, rather
some casting doubt that he ever used it.
I feel we would do better to thank the board for taking the time and
trouble of getting such a short and direct summary of the result.
all the best
